For Mike Perry, his latest win was a case of less is more.
“Platinum” drew even more fight week attention than usual ahead of his co-main event matchup with Mickey Gall at UFC on ESPN 12, primarily because of the news that he would be eschewing a standard team in favor of having girlfriend Latory Gonzales act as his sole cornerwoman.
While many questioned Perry’s decision, he pulled out a victory on Saturday night at UFC APEX in Las Vegas, out-striking and out-grappling Gall over the course of three rounds to win a convincing unanimous decision.
